NEW ORLEANS -- Tony Parker was causing the Pelicans so much trouble with his dazzling dribble drives that New Orleans best defender, agile big man Anthony Davis, stepped out to challenge the shifty San Antonio point guard on the perimeter during the critical final five minutes. With a shoulder fake to his right and a cross-over dribble to the left, Parker wrong-footed Davis and exploded down an open lane for yet another easy layup. Parker scored 21 of his 32 points in the second half and also doled out nine assists, and the Spurs overcame a 14-point deficit en route to a 102-95 victory over the Pelicans on Monday night. "Tony pretty much carved them up," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, referring to Parker as "a monster" down the stretch. Tim Duncan scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half, and Marco Belinelli added 13 against his former club. Davis had 17 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks, Anthony Morrow added 20 points and Eric Gordon scored 19 for the Pelicans, who appeared in line for their fifth win in six games when they led by 14 near the end of the third quarter. The Spurs had other plans, outscoring New Orleans 38-19 in the final period. "Finally, in the fourth quarter, we were more physical and played better defence," Parker said. "And we just know how to win. ... In the fourth quarter, when its tight, we know how to execute and we know what we want to do on offence." Duncan had a difficult first half, hitting only two of his first eight shots and even missing a dunk, but looked like his usual self when it mattered. He opened the third quarter by making 5 of 7 shots. Parker added 10 points in the quarter, and his scoop shot had San Antonio as close as 65-62 with 3:13 left in the period. But New Orleans regained its rhythm once more while the Spurs briefly came unhinged. Shortly after Morrows 3 made it 70-62, Parker and Duncan were called for technical fouls on the same offensive possession. Morrow made both free throws, then got fouled and made two more free throws, and New Orleans went back up by 14 on Greg Stiemsmas tip-in. San Antonio simply wouldnt go away, suffocating New Orleans shooters and forcing four turnovers in the first six minutes of the final quarter. "We had some costly turnovers," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "A number of our guys, you look at our numbers, we just did not shoot the ball well across the board, in the fourth quarter for sure." The Pelicans has 16 turnovers in all, leading to 18 San Antonio points, and New Orleans made only 8 of 21 shots (38 per cent) in the final period. That, combined with Parkers clutch play, was too much to overcome. "Tony Parker got it going and we didnt corral him enough when he got in the paint," Morrow said. "He just made more plays down the stretch." The Spurs, meanwhile, took over the game with a 12-0 run that began when Patty Mills hit a 19-foot jumper and followed that with a 3. Then Danny Green, back from a broken left hand to play for the first time in 10 games, made his first shot -- a 3-pointer -- on his seventh attempt with 7:24 to go to pull the Spurs to 82-78. Parker completed the comeback a few plays later with his driving floater that tied it at 82 with 5:48 to go. "We played badly for 24-plus minutes -- made a lot of mistakes and finally put a stretch together," Duncan said. "We finally made some shots, honestly. We made, I think, two 3s in a row during the run that were big for us. We just needed something. We needed some kind of spark, some kind of stop-and-score. ... We had a crew in there that did it well." The Pelicans shot nearly 57 per cent in the first half (21 of 37) and led for most of it. Morrow made five of his first six shots and Gordon had 12 early points, including a 3 that put the Pelicans up 54-42 at halftime. NOTES: Green finished with 7 points in 30 minutes in what was his first action since Jan. 12. ... Pelicans G Tyreke Evans played only five minutes, leaving the game for good shortly after hurting his right ribs in a collision with Matt Bonner. ... The halftime performer, tight-rope artist Fletcher Runyan, drew empathetic groans from the crowd when he fell and straddled the rope. After sitting on the rope with a pained expression on his face for several seconds, he gingerly got back up, landed a successful backflip, then smiled and waved as he walked off the court to applause.

You can watch the main card LIVE on TSN2 beginning at 10pm et/7pm pt. In the co-main event, Donald Cerrone steps in on 15-days rest to complete a trilogy with lightweight rival Benson Henderson. Here are TSN.cas predictions for first UFC Fight Night of the year. -- MAIN CARD: Conor McGregor (16-2) vs. Dennis Siver (22-9, 1 NC) Andrew Robichaud, TSN.ca McGregor - The Irishman says the main event in Boston won’t last more than two minutes. He’s been right before and has the ability to be right again. Right now it may seem like disrespect to his opponent, but to McGregor it’s just business. Siver - He doesn’t measure up - literally - to his opponent, but Siver has the kickboxing to keep McGregor at bay for a little while. The quiet German is also pretty fired up as well, if you can believe it. PICK: McGregor via TKO Ken Rodney, TSN.ca McGregor - He’s brash, confident and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division. The Irishman finished his last two fights in the opening round and fights with incredible intensity from bell to bell. Siver - Enters this fight as a heavy underdog and will have to wear his opponent down if he’s going to spring the upset. Has to take the fight deep to have a chance. PICK: McGregor via TKO — Donald Cerrone (22-6, 1 NC) vs. Benson Henderson (21-4) Robichaud Cerrone - He just might be crazy enough to pull this off. He went three rounds two weeks ago, but with six straight wins and enough fire to take out a forest, Cerrone doesn’t look like he’ll be any worse for wear in the trilogy with Henderson. Henderson - He’s beaten Cowboy twice before which technically gives him the edge, but expect this fight to be more about his current standing in the division than earning a third straight victory over Cerrone. PICK: Cerrone via decision Rodney Cerrone - By the time he steps into the Octagon, Cerrone will be 15 days out from his last fight, an impressive victory at UFC 182. Facing someone that has already beaten you twice is a tough enough task, but doing it two weeks after your last bout is either extremely brave or extremely foolish. Henderson - Knocked out for the first time in his career in his last outing, Henderson should have a little extra motivation when he faces Cerrone. While he is brushing off any advantage from having won their first two bouts it has to hold some value heading into the trilogy fighht.dddddddddddd PICK: Henderson via decision — Uriah Hall (10-4) vs. Ron Stallings (12-6, 1 NC) Robichaud Hall - “Prime Time” is still finding his footing in the UFC, but two straight wins has him on a favourable upswing. He has a long way to go in the middleweight division and needs to maximize the opportunity to prove he belongs with the big boys. Stallings - Not only is Stallings stepping in on extremely short notice, but he is also doing so for his UFC debut. It is an honourable move by the MMA veteran and we’ll soon find out how foolish. PICK: Hall via decision Rodney Hall - A fractured toe didn’t stop Hall from picking up a victory in his last bout against Thiago Santos. He’ll probably be most happy if he gets to the Octagon and his opponent hasn’t changed again after losing both Costas Philippou and Louis Taylor on the way to this matchup. Stallings – Took the fight on a week’s notice which is commendable but obviously put him at a disadvantage. Suffered a decision loss in his last bout, breaking a three fight winning streak. PICK: Hall via TKO — Norman Parke (21-2-1) vs. Gleison Tibau (39-10) Robichaud Parke - Unbeaten in five fights in the UFC (4-0-1), the 28-year-old Irishman should feel right at home in Boston. Parke hasn’t experienced the same boom as his compatriot McGregor, but consider his journey through the lightweight division is well on its way. Tibau - The UFC veteran has been finding ways to beat all different types of competition for over a decade and a win over Parke would match his longest streak with the organization at three consecutive victories. PICK: Tibau via decision Rodney Parke - Hasn’t suffered a defeat since 2010, the only blemish on his record during that time is a majority draw against Leonardo Santos. As with any fight against Tibau, this is an important stepping stone victory for Parke to gain. Tibau - The veteran of 23 previous bouts in the UFC should have a striking advantage in this bout and could use it to get his opponent in trouble early in the fight. PICK: Tibau via decision — PRELIMINARY CARD Robichaud: Pendred over Spencer Rodney: Pendred over Spencer Robichaud: Larkin over Howard Rodney: Howard over Larkin Robichaud: Lipeng over Wade Rodney: Wade over Lipeng Robichaud: Holohan over Howell Rodney: Holohan over Howell Robichaud: Case over Perez Rodney: Case over Perez Robichaud: Rosa over Soriano Rodney: Rosa over Soriano Robichaud: Van Buren over O’Connell Rodney: Van Buren over O’Connell Robichaud: Matsuda over Sanchez Rodney: Sanchez over Matsuda Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
